Something Else is more than a memoir. It is a true story of how one ordinary life unravelled, awakened, and became something unexpected.
Told with raw honesty and lyrical grace, Lukas Simko shares three years that changed everything. A time of love and loss, synchronicities, spiritual signs, heartbreak, and the quiet rebirth that followed.
What if the moments that break you are the very ones that reveal who you truly are?
From childhood promises whispered in the dark to life-altering encounters across Europe, Lukas’s journey is shaped by empathy, intuition, and unwavering hope. Even when trust shatters and life falls apart, he refuses to make villains of those who hurt him. Instead, he searches for meaning inside the chaos, believing that every soul carries both shadow and light, and that pain can sometimes be the doorway to awakening.
Through heartbreak and healing, he discovers that faith never disappears. It only waits to be remembered. Each chapter reveals a quiet truth about love, timing, destiny, and the courage it takes to keep your heart open in a world that teaches you to close it.
Blending spirituality, poetry, and deeply human emotion, Something Else reminds us that love is never wasted, that endings are beginnings in disguise, and that every step, even the painful ones, leads you closer to who you were meant to be.
For anyone who has ever questioned their path, their timing, or their worth, this book is a gentle hand on your shoulder whispering that you are not broken, you are becoming.
Life isn’t about perfection, but about loving what’s inside you, perfectly imperfect.
Lukas Simko was born in Slovakia and moved to Ireland while he was still discovering who he was. Since then, life has taken him on unexpected paths across countries, through love and heartbreak, moments of luck, loss, and experiences so unlikely that people often told him, “You should write a book.”
He is not a polished writer by trade. He studied IT, worked his way through different jobs, and stumbled more times than he can count. Writing became his way of telling the truth, not just the facts of what happened but how it felt inside, the doubts, the signs, the laughter, the silence, and the moments that cracked him open and showed him something more.
His debut book, Something Else, is a collection of true stories from three years of his life. It is not written to make him known, but to help readers feel less alone, to remind them that even in heartbreak or confusion, there is magic, meaning and light if we dare to follow it.
His hope is that his words speak for themselves. If even one person finds hope, strength or a piece of their own story in his, then this book has done what it was meant to do.
